All entrants must be 55 years of age or older on or before May 1, and must be a member of the Iowa State USBC
WBA for the current season.
The tournament rules shall be governed by the USBC General Playing Rules and Commonly Asked Questions,
with the exception of rules 300b, 300c (this rule will not apply with the exception of item 2, Associate
Membership), 301a-e, 302a-d, 309b-c, 310a-b, 313, 315a-d, 317a-d, 318a-c, 319a-f, 323a-c, and 324a-b, which
are hereby waived.
The Iowa State Senior Women’s Tournament rules will be adopted by the Board of Directors. Three sets of
Doubles and Singles will be scheduled on each pair of lanes whenever possible. Doubles entries must be
complete. No rearranging of line-up for Doubles will be permitted.
The tournament shall consist of a Doubles event and a Singles event with an optional All Events. The annual
tournament shall be a handicap tournament based on 100% of the difference between the bowler’s average and a
scratch figure of 220. Entrants may enter once per event and substitute as needed in the doubles event only.
The first doubles score counts toward all events. Bowlers entering Doubles must also enter Singles; bowlers
entering Singles must also enter Doubles. All Events are in the same division as the entrant’s Singles event.
All references to averages shall apply to averages established in any USBC certified leagues and associations in
the following order unless Iowa State USBC WBA specified:
(a)
Entrants must use their highest average of not less than twenty-one (21) games in any league (including
summer) at the end of the previous season.
(b)
If a bowler does not have an established average of twenty-one (21) games or more from the previous
season, she shall use her highest average of twenty-one (21) games or more as of January 1 of the
current season.
(c)
If a bowler does not meet either of the above average requirements, she may bowl with an established
average of twelve (12) games or more as of the date of participation. (Verification from local association
will be required.)
(d)
If bowler does not meet any of the previously listed average requirements, she may enter the tournament
with a 220 average.
Substitute forms must be in the Iowa State USBC WBA office as soon as possible prior to the date scheduled to
bowl.
Iowa State Senior Women’s Tournament awards shall be presented to the Doubles, Singles and All Events
champions in each division. Cost of these awards shall be paid from the tournament prize fund. Entrants will
also be eligible for any USBC awards.
The All Events champions in the Iowa State Senior Women’s Tournament shall have their entry fees paid for the
USBC Senior Championship Tournament for the following year. In addition, the cost of the official blouse worn by
the entrants and $50 in expense money will be provided by the Iowa State USBC WBA.
If the All Events champion in any division declines to attend the national event, only the second place finisher
from that division will have the option of attending.
If a tie exists for the championship of the All Events divisions, co-champions shall be declared. For purposes of
determining who shall be eligible for the USBC Senior Championships, the player with the highest Singles event
score with handicap will be used.
All entrants must report to the tournament check-in office forty-five (45) minutes before the scheduled time to
bowl.
Each entrant in the Doubles and Singles must have her own bowling ball.
Bowlers must remain in the bowlers’ area during each event. If abuse occurs, which slows the bowling or causes
objections by other entrants, the offending bowler may be disqualified.
Misconduct, offensive behavior or inappropriate attire will not be permitted. An offending entrant, or entrants, may
be prevented from beginning or continuing to bowl. She shall forfeit those games and shall be dismissed from the
bowling establishment. The decision of the Tournament Director, President, any Board member, or the
Tournament Director’s assistants shall be final in these matters.
Disclaimer: The entrants whose names appear hereon, or their authorized replacements, hereby agree that the Iowa State USBC
WBA, its officers and agents, shall be liable to the extent of returning entry fees if and when these entrants shall be prevented from
bowling any event in the tournament through the delay, unexpected yet necessary schedule changes, or premature termination of the
tournament which may be brought about by war, national emergency or emergencies of causes relating thereto or resulting therefrom,
fires, strikes, lockouts, labor difficulties or other causes beyond the control of the Iowa State USBC WBA.
